FRIDAY
MI DAILY DEVOTION
(Mark 12:41- 44) 41- “And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42- And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43- And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44- For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living”
D.L. Moody said; “Do all the good you can, to all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as long as you can.” Every time you gave, Jesus was there watching on how much you gave; not because He was interested with your money but because He is interested on how much you express your love for Him through your giving. “GIVE ‘TILL IT HURTS.” Rabbi Harold Kushner said; “The purpose of life is not to win, the purpose of life is to grow and to share.” THE LORD WAS THERE OBSERVING THE WAY THEY GAVE. Every Christian’s way of giving should be: First, we must open our heart to God for giving. Secondly, we must open our eyes and our minds to the needs and needy. Thirdly, we must open our purse to give and not of necessity but out of love. Fourth reasons would be to give God the glory and not to boast of your giving.
(Matthew 6: 2-4) “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.”
